The purpose of the African Women in Cinema Blog is to provide a space to discuss diverse topics relating to African women in cinema--filmmakers, actors, producers, and all film professionals. The blog is a public forum of the Centre for the Study and Research of African Women in Cinema.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Open call for application for the third edition of CHOUFTOUHONNA, Tunis International Feminist Art Festival, which will be held on 07-08-09-10 September 2017.

Women and identifying as women artists and creators of all disciplines from all over the world are invited to submit their applications by 30 March 2017.

The success of the two previous editions confirmed the idea that an artistic space, exclusively dedicated to women is needed, not only in Tunisia but throughout the world.

In fact, the 75 participations in the first edition and the 130 in the second edition reveal a growing solidarity and interest around this project, and provide us the needed energy to carry on this very unique experience.

CHOUFTOUHONNA believes in an intersectional feminism and wants to be inclusive.

Thereby, the festival defends an art that emphasizes women’s visions and rights, but most of all has the ambition to give a space of expression to women, in their diversity.
